Abstract

Resource Image We are given data on the time and position of a shuttlecock as it falls to the ground from a set height. We attempt to model the falling object and we confront the different resistance terms and models.

Description

We introduce a new way of comparing models, the Akaike Information Criterion, and apply it to our models.

We are given data on time and distance traveled below the starting height of 2 m of a free falling shuttlecock. We will make a mathematical model of this phenomenon and estimate the parameters in the model. We shall also compare the model's predictive power with the actual data.
